The Count of Monte Cristo is a masterpiece of popular history by the famous French writer Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870). The story tells the story of the 19th century French Emperor Napoleon's "Hundred Days" period, the first mate of the Pharaoh, Edmond Dantès, was commissioned by the captain to deliver a letter to the Napoleonic party, was framed by two despicable villains and judges, and was sent to a black prison. His cellmate, Father Faria, imparted knowledge to him and, on his deathbed, told him the secret of a treasure buried on the island of Monte Cristo. After escaping from prison, Dantès found the treasure and became extremely rich, and from then on he assumed the name of the Count of Monte Cristo (Sailor Samba), and after careful planning, he repaid his benefactor and punished his enemy.

It is divided into four parts. The first part is about the protagonist's encounter in prison and his revenge after escaping. The second, third, and fourth parts narrate the twists and turns of the protagonist's revenge.

At the end of February 1815, Edmond Dantès, the young acting captain of the ocean-going freighter Pharaoh, returned to the port of Marseille. The old captain Leclerc, who died of illness on the way, asked Dontès to sail the ship to an island to meet Napoleon in captivity, who commissioned Dantès to carry a secret letter to his cronies in Paris. Dantès's return to China can be described as a spring breeze: he is ready to marry his long-time girlfriend Mercertes, and then go to Paris together.

But he never imagined that a bad luck awaited him. As an escort on a cargo ship, Tangral is bent on replacing Dantès as captain, and his rival Fernand is jealous and hateful of him. As a result, the two men colluded, and Fernand sent a sniffer note from Dantès to the authorities. In May, just as Dantès was getting married, he was arrested.

The case was heard by the Acting Prosecutor de Villefort, who discovered that the recipient of the secret letter was his father, de Villefort Novatier, and in order to secure his future, he sentenced Dantès to the extreme danger of being a political prisoner and sent him to the prison of Château d'If on an isolated island.

Dantès spent 14 years on death row, and at first he was convinced of his innocence, always thinking that the prosecutor would one day appear in front of him and declare him innocent. However, as time went on, he was disappointed and even had suicidal thoughts, but his longing for his fiancée sustained him to live.

One day, he suddenly heard the sound of someone digging nearby, and it turned out to be the god Faria in the next cell

1. If you desire something, you have to set it free, if it comes back to you, it is yours, if it doesn't come back, you never have it.--Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

2. When you desperately want to accomplish something, you are no longer someone else's opponent, or to be more precise, someone else is no longer your opponent, no matter who it is, as long as you make this determination, he will immediately feel that he has added infinite strength, and his horizons have also been broadened.--Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

3. The wicked do not simply die, because God seems to take care of them, and he wants to use them as instruments of his revenge. There is no such thing as happiness or misfortune in the world, there is only one situation compared to another. Only those who have endured the bitter wind and rain in the sea with a wooden plank can appreciate how precious happiness is. Enjoy the joy of life to the fullest, always remembering that before God unveiled the picture of the future of mankind, human wisdom was contained in two words: waiting and hope. --Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

5. There is no happiness or unhappiness in this world, there is only a comparison between one situation and another, and that's it. Only those who have experienced extreme misfortune can taste extreme happiness, and only those who have made up their minds to die can understand how happy it is to live. Live happily ever after, and never forget, until the day comes when God will reveal the future to mankind, all the wisdom of mankind is contained in these five words: Wait and Hope -- Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo

"The Count of Monte Cristo" is one of Alexandre Dumas's masterpieces, and it is popular to win by plot.

In the middle of the nineteenth century, it was a "bestseller" on the charts at that time, and Alexandre Dumas himself could be described as a popular "best-selling author" in France at that time.

It is a story of revenge. Nineteen-year-old Edmond Dantès was an energetic young sailor.

He has a loving father, a sweet lover, a bright future, and a happy life. With his kind and optimistic nature, he treats everyone around him with courtesy and sincerity. His clear and bright eyes are full of expectations and fascination for a happy life in the future.

But at his wedding ceremony, he was framed and thrown into prison. Having lost everything for a while, he was accompanied only by the darkness of the gloomy dungeons of the Château d'If and the double torture of his mind and body. But at the same time, someone is building his happiness on top of his pain. They killed Dantès' father and took his lover.

When he was at his most helpless and desperate to commit suicide, Father Faria came into his life. The priest imparted his life's knowledge to him, told him where the treasures of Monte Cristo were located, and helped him escape from prison.

At this time, Dantès had been in prison for fourteen years. In the past fourteen years, things are not people, and Dantes has also changed from an ignorant young man to a count with a huge amount of money.

He began to repay the favor and began to take revenge. The ship's owner, Morel, was grateful to him, and the Count was the first to save the good man from his desperate path. After that, he continued to take care of his children, until he finally gave them the treasure cave of Monte Cristo.

The Count of Monte Cristo defeated the three enemies of Tangral, Fernand and Villefort, who represented the financial, political and judicial figures of the Bourbon dynasty in France respectively. In the end, the bankruptcy of these three people, the suicide of suicide, and the madness of madness, all received their due retribution.

In , the character of the Count of Monte Cristo is almost perfect. When he took revenge face to face with his enemies, he was not carried away by hatred, his conscience was never extinguished, his personality was not distorted, and he always retained a noble and kind heart.

When he helped the Morel family get out of trouble

Since I read "Notre Dame de Paris" five years ago to pass the boring time in the laboratory, I have never read a classic, especially a tome like this.

The wording may not be accurate, but the book is a monumental tome. When the book arrived, the heavy weight, the thickness of 1,400 pages, and the more than 1,200,000 words really surprised me a lot, and at the same time made me afraid, afraid that I would lose the courage to read this magnificent work.

Thankfully, however, I still have the interest and courage to read and find such an attractive story.

Wrongdoing, prison escape, treasure hunting, revenge, revenge, and leaving, any of these episodes alone is enough to form an eye-catching story.

During the Tang Dynasty, he was wrongfully sent to death row, and by chance he met Father Faria, from whom he greatly enriched Tang Dynasty's knowledge and wisdom, and learned the secrets of the treasure.

After a thrilling escape from prison and a treasure for the world, he repaid his benefactor and punished his enemies. The story itself is highly legendary.

Of course, if Alexandre Dumas had stopped there, there would have been one more fantastic saga in the history of world literature, not this century-old classic.

When the young and innocent Tang Dynasty returned from his voyage, a bright career prospect awaited him, a loving father, and a beautiful Catalonian girl who was about to get engaged.

Good times seem to come naturally. However, the sun of happiness is always accompanied by shadows, which can even transform into darkness, pushing people into the abyss of despair and darkness.

When the Tang Dynasty was entrusted by the old captain to accept the task of delivering letters, in that turbulent era, it was destined to plant the seeds of unease for his future path.

The vicious and hell-bent colleague Danglaar, the jealous and resentful rival Fernand, and the selfish and cold-blooded but sanctimonious prosecutor Villefort are all three of them, chaining Don into the death row of Dark Shadow's despair.

On death row, after hope, disappointment, despair, and death-seeking, in a sense, the sunny and gentle Don Downs is dead.

Fourteen years later, when he escaped from prison, he was reborn, and after confirming the priest's inference and completing his retribution, after several years of business, a vengeful phantom who wants to burn the anger of revenge on his enemies, the Count of Monte Cristo, will make great waves in Paris.

During the Revolution of 1830, Alexandre Dumas fought against the Bourbons and openly expressed his political stance against the royal family in the preface to the historical drama Napoleon Bonaparte, which was published at the time. In "The Count of Monte Cristo", the author almost went bankrupt during the restoration of the dynasty through the protagonist's benefactor sympathy and support for Napoleon, and the enemies of the three protagonists happened to rise to prominence during the July Dynasty, and used the fate of the three false accusers to laugh and scold them.

Creative Process:

In 1842, while traveling in the Mediterranean, Alexandre Dumas became interested in the island of Monte Cristo and decided to write a book on it. In his 1838 book Memoirs on the Archives of the Paris Police since Louis XIV, he found the story of "The Diamond of Vengeance", in which a Parisian shoemaker was about to get married, was falsely accused by a jealous friend and imprisoned for seven years, and after his release he was cared for by a Milanese priest, and after the priest's death, he was given a secret treasure, and then he returned to Paris in disguise to take revenge, and finally he was killed himself. Alexandre Dumas carefully studied this material and worked together with others to draw up a writing plan, which began to be serialized in the newspaper Sociatett in Paris, France, on August 28, 1844, and ended on January 25, 1846, with a total of 136 issues.

1. Monte Cristo Island

The Italian island of Montecristo is also known as the Christian Island, which is located in the Etruscan Sea between Italy and Corsica in France, with an area of only 10 square kilometers, sometimes translated as "Gido".

The island is home to mountains more than 650 meters high, and the ruins of an 18th-century villa and a 13th-century monastery have been preserved. The monastery was sacked by pirates and abandoned in 1553.
